July 4th Inspired Retro Americana Engagement Shoot

A few weeks ago we saw a retro pinup poster of a girl fanning a smoking grill with her dress, and we thought – ‘Hmm..how about a whole couples shoot designed around the aspect of a retro picnic?’ We’d been wanting to work with Heather again, so we asked her and her boyfriend Ryan if they’d want to shoot it with us. Of course Michelle was in the game with us too, and the results were nothing short of amazing. You two really rocked it out for us!

There’s nothing more American for a picnic than hot dogs, apple pic, Coca Cola, and a grill running.

Didn’t Michelle do a fantastic job with Heather’s makeup and hair? Word, girl! And Heather looks amazing.

Looking quite handsome there, Ryan!

Wow .. someone just turned on the smolder … lol

We loved this playful shot below!

Oops! She did it again …

There was a joke we made at the shoot about Ryan owning a fruit stand (he doesn’t!), but I’m pretty sure this photo could sell just about anything .. even fresh watermelon.

So romantic you two .. geez.

Cloer Vineyards is always so picturesque, and very hospitable to us!

The look Heather is giving Ryan here is so fabulous ..

Did someone say “The Notebook?”

Ryan just so happened to have a pinup girl tattooed on his leg. Kinda like he had it done for this shoot or something.

Wow you two .. this shoot turned out to be so amazing. We hope this serves as inspiration – we love creating and working with couples to come up with a theme and styling for your engagement or ‘just because’ shoot!

Have a happy 4th of July weekend!
